 Terry asks: 

>>A client has a Steinway grand, circa 1900. Plate's been painted, which
covered the model and serial number. I did find what appears to be the
serial number, in small black numbering, on the extreme treble section of
the soundboard. #94726 seems to correspond to about 1900. It measures 5'10
and change, so I'm guessing it's a model "O"? I don't think L's were
introduced until 1911, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, since the O
& L are the same length, would a string cover for an L also fit the O, or
are other differences in the cases?
  

 The O has a much rounder tail.  O's also had two different types of bass
bridges, the earlier ones were straight, later models, curved.
